HRES1058119th Congress

Recognizing that it is the duty of the Federal Government to develop and implement a Transgender Bill of Rights to protect and codify the rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.

Sponsored By: Representative Jayapal, Pramila [D-WA-7]

Introduced

Summary

A Transgender Bill of Rights would direct the federal government to set nationwide protections that guarantee access to medical care, identity recognition, housing, employment, and personal safety for transgender and nonbinary people. Supporters cite about 1.6 million transgender adults in the U.S and say current discrimination blocks access to basic services and safety.

Show full summary
  • Families and patients would get stronger health protections. The bill would prohibit discrimination in health care, remove unnecessary barriers to gender-affirming care, protect providers who follow recognized standards, expand telehealth to reach underserved areas, ban conversion practices, and reopen the National Institutes of Health Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office.
  • Workers, renters, borrowers, and people using public services would gain explicit federal civil rights. The measure would amend the Civil Rights Act, Title VII, the Fair Housing Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to bar discrimination based on gender identity and sex characteristics. It would also make it easier to update federal IDs, add an "X" gender marker where required, and support voter registration updates.
  • Safety, military, immigration, and enforcement changes would follow. The bill calls for tailored violence prevention and mental health programs, asylum protections for gender-based persecution, safer placement and access to care in detention, TRICARE and VA coverage for gender-affirming care, review of military discharges, and a Department of Justice civil rights liaison. It would also require voluntary, confidential federal collection of gender identity and sex characteristics for equity and public health purposes.
